In the meantime, I suppose, the CRIMSON will be willing to print suggestions from any who may have plans or schemes to better the mode of carrying on the race...

...interesting to note that neither age, weight or height have any decided advantage, the oldest crews having won six times out of twelve, the lightest seven times out of twelve, and the shortest six times out of ten. It would seem that the qualities that bring success are not to be mathematically computed...
Dana, Sturgis and Hartridge are the only new men. Hartridge rowed on last year's freshman crew at Yale. They are the lightest crew on the river.
